Efficiency of Carbon Fibre for the Automotive Industry
This paper explores the role of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) in improving the efficiency, safety and sustainability of modern automobiles. The aim is to determine how beneficial carbon fibre is in making vehicles lighter, cleaner and more energy efficient. It examines CFRP’s advantages over traditional materials such as steel and aluminium, its applications in vehicle design and the manufacturing challenges that limit large-scale use. The paper also discusses recycling methods and environmental improvements that make CFRP more sustainable, along with future prospects for its wider use in the automotive industry.

A Study of Clustering Analysis in Identification of Butterfly Species
This study investigates the use of clustering analysis techniques for identifying butterfly species based on their morphological characteristics. Butterflies exhibit substantial variation in wing patterns, colors and body size which makes traditional taxonomic identification both time-consuming and error-prone. Clustering analysis provides a data-driven strategy to group individuals into putative species based on similarities in measurable features. By applying multiple clustering algorithms together with appropriate validation methods, this work evaluates the effectiveness of clustering analysis for butterfly species identification and highlights its potential applications in biodiversity research and conservation. Accurate identification of butterfly species is fundamental to biodiversity conservation, ecological monitoring, and environmental impact assessment. This study examines the efficacy of clustering methods for species identification using butterfly image data. Several algorithms, including K-means, hierarchical clustering, spectral clustering, Gaussian mixture models, and DBSCAN, are employed to partition images into species clusters. To represent discriminative visual information, feature extraction techniques such as Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are used to encode wing textures and shape characteristics. The quality of the resulting clusters is assessed by comparing them with known species labels, enabling a systematic evaluation of each method. The results indicate that clustering analysis offers a scalable and promising approach for automated butterfly species identification and biodiversity monitoring, while also clarifying the strengths and limitations of different clustering techniques for image-based species classification.

Data-Driven Crop Recommendation for Rajasthan Using Linear and Ensemble Models
The agricultural sector is a vital part of the Indian economy, comprising 18.2% of India’s GDP and representing approximately 44% of the total labour force. However, one of the biggest problems faced is the loss of crop yield, especially among farms using traditional methods of farming that lack the technological means to predict and maximise their potential yield. The problem is further compounded by farmers often being unaware of which crops are suitable, given conditions that are specific to individual farmers or parcels of land. This research paper focuses on maximising crop yield by helping farmers choose a suitable crop in Rajasthan, one of the largest Indian states by land mass and population, where over 54% of citizens depend on agriculture as a primary source of income. The data used throughout this paper are publicly accessible and are taken from multiple official Indian government sources. Using these data, the paper incorporates exploratory data analysis to identify key variables such as soil nutrient levels, rainfall, and temperature that influence crop performance. Furthermore, the paper aims to lay out the groundwork for building a crop yield prediction and, primarily, a crop recommendation model that is easily accessible and simple to understand. This is implemented using a transparent linear regression baseline and a decision-tree-based ensemble approach, specifically Random Forest.

Smart Basket
The Smart Basket is an automated, RFID-enabled shopping system designed to enhance the retail shopping experience by eliminating manual billing and reducing customer waiting time at checkout counters. The proposed system integrates an RFID reader, RFID tags, a microcontroller, and an LCD display into a shopping trolley, enabling automatic identification and pricing of products as they are placed inside or removed from the cart. Each product is equipped with a passive RFID tag, which is detected instantly by the RFID reader, and the corresponding information—such as product name, price, and updated total bill—is displayed to the user in real time. The system also incorporates an RFID card-based authentication mechanism to ensure secure access and user identity verification during purchase. The Smart Basket minimizes human intervention in billing, reduces errors associated with manual scanning, and increases overall operational efficiency in shopping malls and supermarkets. By providing a transparent, user-friendly, and time-saving shopping environment, the system contributes to improved customer satisfaction and smoother store management. This project demonstrates that RFID technology can serve as a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable solution for modern retail automation and lays the foundation for future integration of IoT, mobile payments, and AI-based analytics.

How Can Global Brands Balance Cultural Authenticity and Universal Appeal in an Era of Glocalization?
In today’s globalized yet culturally diverse marketplace, multinational brands face the complex challenge of balancing universal brand identity with localized cultural relevance. This research explores the strategic concept of glocalization, which integrates global brand consistency with authentic local adaptation to enhance consumer resonance. Through qualitative methodology, secondary data analysis, and case studies of McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Nike, and Starbucks, the study demonstrates that cultural authenticity significantly strengthens consumer trust, emotional engagement, and brand loyalty. Findings reveal that successful glocalization requires maintaining universal brand values while adapting products, messaging, and customer experiences to align with cultural beliefs, traditions, and socio-emotional expectations. The study also analyzes branding failures such as Dolce & Gabbana and Pepsi to highlight risks of cultural insensitivity. As digital transformation accelerates hyper-local targeting and consumer co-creation, glocalization emerges as a strategic necessity for competitive advantage. The research concludes that brands that develop cultural intelligence, empower local insight, and adopt flexible global frameworks can achieve sustainable global-local equilibrium.

The Triple Barrier: Pricing, Distribution, and Policy Dynamics Shaping Organic Food Sustainability in India
This study employs the rigorous frameworks of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL)—assessing people, planet, and profit and Value Chain Analysis (VCA) to investigate the structural imperatives of pricing, distribution, and policy in determining the long-term sustainability of India’s burgeoning organic food sector. The market demonstrates robust economic potential, with growth projections estimated up to a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20.13% through 2033, driven largely by burgeoning urban health consciousness and a strong global export orientation. However, the analysis indicates that true sustainability remains structurally fragile. The sector faces a critical "triple barrier" that restricts value capture and systemic resilience. The report concludes that achieving a sustainable organic ecosystem by 2030 requires integrated policy intervention, specifically focusing on certification reform, public-private investment in cold-chain logistics, and implementing dual incentive models to ensure fair pricing and broader market access.
